How midwives support women during childbirth | Monash University
– Hello there, my name'' s Kym, I ' m a midwife and midwifery speaker here at Monash College
Nursing and Midwifery. We'' d like to take this opportunity to welcome you on the journey of Victoria'' s work and birth, both from the start of her tightenings, through the trip to the birth of her newborn, within the birthing simulation setting that we have here at Monash College. -Today, I intend to show you our much-loved simulator at Monash Midwifery. This is Victoria, she'' s extremely cool down. She really will offer birth to a baby. So we turn a button on, she undergoes contractions, and afterwards the child will certainly in fact be birthed.So you '
ll go with the crowning, and after that the catching of the infant. So it'' s really cool down in that you can experience the entire act of delivering without in fact having taken place positioning yet. And that commonly aids when you do jump on placement that you'' ve at the very least had a hands-on experience. And that'' s something that we such as to prepare you with here at Monash. So what we'' re going
to do is presume a position that is semi-recumbent.
So in this scenario, that indicates that she'' s resting upright, a bit. In truth, a woman might be delivering in any type of position, yet we practice this one first. – Ideally, the placement for a woman in labour is the one that she selects, and likewise one that sustains her in an upright placement, and allows gravity to help her with the process of the birth of her baby. – So when we'' re prepared, what'we ' ll do is obtain Victoria activated. As you can see, she'' s currently breathing and blinking, so she'' s got some awesome functions there. So what I want you to do is glove up, prepare yourself to go. We never know when she might really obtain that infant to the perineum, and afterwards have a great aesthetic of what'' s going on right here. In reality, you'' ll hear ladies start to claim that they'' re experiencing stress, that they need to push. – Many individuals assume that a lady'' s in labour since their waters have actually damaged, and sometimes that is the case, yet not always.So whilst your caregiver will certainly intend to listen to from you, it doesn ' t necessarily indicate that you'' re in work. The other more crucial things that inform us that you ' re in work is that you'start to get pains, or what we call contractions. These might start reduced down in your stomach, or up high in your belly, or in your back or down your legs.- Since you see the head crowning, allow ' s simply position a little bit of stress on the child ' s head, that ' s exactly right. And after that with the next'contraction, that head ' s slowly going to emerge. So I simply desire you to keep your hands surround the head as it ' s coming via.
That ' s excellent, well done. And you would be chatting this with'with Victoria, so letting her understand that you see her baby
' s head beginning to come and that she ' s doing a. actually fantastic job.Usually at this factor, ladies. will feel rather extreme pain,
so it ' s actually crucial that. we maintain that connection with the woman at this stage.- So choices of'pain. alleviation for women in work is to be walking around, and keep active and well sustained with individuals that exist. Midwives can also suggest. some medicinal measures if need should be.- And that ' s actually regular. that it takes a little while,
so Victoria imitates. that, those contractions.And in reality, what will happen is'one.
contraction may birth the infant ' s head, and afterwards with the next contraction, you ' ll often see the baby turn,. which is called restitution, and then the shoulders will be born. So there we go, that ' s taking place recently, baby ' s restituting. And after that as that child ' s. starting to birth, just'relocate your hands. further down'the infant ' s body to ensure that you ' re holding. the shoulders in with each other, that can assist stay clear of any. injury of the perineum. Excellent, and then that whole.
child should be birthed with this tightening, excellent.
And after that we ' ll bring the.
child up to be with mum and do some skin-to-skin. We urge'skin-to-skin,
Hannah, for mommies and infants. directly after birth, because that ' s what regulates. the baby ' s temperature level, it ' s blood sugar level, and it'' s breathing, really vital for those reasons, but it additionally produces a. hormone called oxytocin in both mom and baby. that assists with bonding, with breastfeeding, and also discomfort administration for both of them.Because it has actually been quite an agonizing, stressful experience in one of the most component, and so really vital that we obtain that child skin-to-skin. We likewise will certainly often tend to keep the cord undamaged which ' s so that the placenta that the infant ' s still connected to, can continue'to feed the. infant with all of the blood and the nutrients that are left within. When the placenta ' s pumped all. of that blood right into the baby, through the umbilical cable, then we can clamp it and cut.
it like you see in the movies. There ' s a great deal of muscular tissue memory in helping a lady to
offer birth, and we say all the time that.'it ' s like riding a bike, you ' re not going to forget.So when we practise these.
skills over and over once more, and'then you obtain to use them in reality on professional positioning, you ' ll discover that you ' ve a minimum of obtained that background muscular tissue memory with you'. So it needs to aid with. your self-confidence degrees. -So I wish you ' ve. enjoyed this possibility,
joining us at Monash College, right here in our'birth simulation. And I hope this influences. you to intend to become a midwifery student and sign up with. us below at Monash University
